Now that is all types of wrong. How can that girl even live with herself after doing that? WTF is wrong with society?
Of course I don't know exactly what was going on in her mind. But looking back, I believe that she actually felt her son was a burden, that somehow he was taking away her youthful 'right' to go out partying and live it up. At the time, I thought she'd appreciate a responsible guy like me, when in fact I probably represented everything she hated about her situation.
Anyway, I have a funnier story...
I was at a party (again in my oblivious early 20s), drunkish, and began chatting up this girl who I was totally hot for, though I'm pretty sure she wasn't quite as attracted to me. But before I could find out, the police busted the party. Turns out, she was under 21, the legal drinking age. So the police haul her off to jail. Well after the party breaks up, I have the wonderful idea to go 'rescue' this girl from the jail, reasoning that she probably needs a ride home. So I get in my car and drive to the station. When I get inside, the attending officer asks me: "So, you drove here? To the station?" "Yeah, officer, of course I did." "Come with me"
He proceeds to then give me a breathalizer test, which I barely fail. He throws me in the cell with the girl! haha. I'm like "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you...." Only not so much. Despite the gravity of the situation, we had a good laugh about the irony, and my naivety. Her brother and his friend (both sober) came and picked us up, and I never saw her again.
